Twilight hike in Tyresta National Park - Love nature, hikes, sounds of the forest ? We found this amazing activity arranged by Alexandra our fantastic and knowledgeable guide. We were three of us and were picked up from central Stockholm around 6:15 pm and a 30 minutes drive outside the city brought us to Tyresta National Park & Nature reserve. We hiked through the forest stopping only to absorb the sights and sounds of nature. Observing the little frogs cross our path, navigating and walking over the path covered with thick roots growing for over hundreds of years. We took the trek at our own gentle pace. About 50 minutes into the walk we reached a gorgeous lake. The tranquility of the surroundings captivated us and we spent a wonderful time appreciating nature, campfire, cooking dinner on open fire and sharing travel experiences with another hiker we met at the campsite. Alexandra was very well organised with our dinner. She had meticulously packed a variety of delicious vegetarian dishes and desserts. The pine needle tea was absolutely amazing and matched the moment. We sat in silence appreciating the campfire and the lake before heading back. On the way back we heard the sounds of deer. Watched the solitary glow worm on a tree. Heard the frogs croaking. Beatles crossing the path or rather us trespassing their home. Sounds of silence. The white moss glowing in the twilight as if it was snow. It drizzled a bit on our way back but have to say we were completely refreshed after our walk back to the car. Our experience was enriched by Alexandra’s deep knowledge and understanding of the surrounding, history and the area. I must admit the twilight hike was one of the highlights and most memorable activity of our holiday. Highly recommended!

a hike to remember - It was amazing! We had such an amazing journey with Alexandra. We did a hike in the forest, it was beautiful. Then we arrived at a lake, which was amazing! We stayed there one night, we had a fire, we ate hot-dogs and we slept in a little cabine near the lake. Alexandra had everything, she was so organized, it was perfect. I will forever remember this journey.

The perfect hike - This is the perfect hike. Alexandra is amazing, friendly and sweet! She thought of everything : dinner, dessert, small cushions to put on the fireplace’s bench, tea,… We hiked in the most beautiful natural forest, and arrived to a lake that was so pretty!! She explained a lot of what we saw, like nature and animals, it was really interesting! Would 100% do it again!

Spectacular experience - This adventure was nothing less than magical! Alexandra communicated well with me before meeting up. She is friendly and knowledgeable about the forest and brought all needed goodies for a comfortable experience. We hiked through the beautiful forest, enjoyed the spectacular lake views, cooked dinner over a campsite, had one tea she made at the site, and then returned during the twilight enjoying the gorgeous evening light and quiet forest. We even saw a moose! I highly recommend this expedition and would go on another tour with Alexandra next time I’m in Stockholm!

Dusk in the forest is a unique experience - Firstly apologies to Alexandra as I had booked the wrong day and hadn'trealised it and ended up keeping her waiting whilst we raced to the meeting point, but I was so glad we did manage to go. The forest in the evening is a really nice experience, especially near the lake. For a Londoner, it was great to be so far from traffic and the noise of people (although there are quite a few fishing by the lake). Alexandra is a very good guide with lots of conversation and knowledge of the forest to share. We were amazed to see a tree that had been felled by beavers. Her special tea brewed with pine needles was a treat! Our trip was obviously a bit shorter than normal as we were late and would use some of the smaller less-used paths, so better still I imagine.
